Fast Ride
for low values of 'fast'
I took the bike for a little potter this evening. Westgate Park (3.5 miles) took a shade over 12 minutes. I fought on against a brisk headwind down to Port Melbourne, where a roadie passed me at a junction. Imagine his surprise when I bridged back, ground past him and broke his spirit. On a heavier bike. I turned round just south of St Kilda, and cruised back with a gentle tailwind. 20 miles, 80 minutes, 15mph. Secret Men's Business was sailing up under Westgate Bridge as I was there. My bike is faster. Just.
